Fuel Efficiency

The G90, in its debut year, places its biggest consumer choice in the engine of the car – and the type of engine you choose determines fuel efficiency. The V6 engine, both in rear-wheel and all-wheel drive, clocks in at 17 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. The V8 engine isn’t much different; with 15 mpg in regards to city driving and 23 mpg out on the highway, the Genesis G90 is certainly consistent regardless of customers’ preference.

Unfortunately, there’s not anything drivers can do to alter their mpg. Hyundai produces the 2017 G90 with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Manual is currently not an option at all. Fortunately, gear changes are smooth in the G90, and test drives report the 5,000-pound car as responsive and quick to accelerate.

Pros

The interior cabin is both spacious and silent, easily fitting passengers in a backseat with comforts like heated seats that match those in the front

No matter the engine you choose, the G90 comes fully loaded with impressive safety considerations such as multi-way cameras, emergency automatic braking, and driver alerts to prevent distraction and drowsiness

Luxury details are the norm, with advantages like heated mirrors, automatic headlights, hands-free trunk operation, and more included as standard features

Cons

Because 2017 is the G90’s first year, there’s limited information about how this model will hold up as a luxury brand in terms of reliability

Pieces of the interior design feature plastic rather than higher-quality wood or metal

Drivers can’t customize or personalize their G90 in any way beyond engine choice and exterior paint job
